First look at Adam Sandler, Peter Dinklage and more in Chris Columbus’ Pixels

Hello, first time visitor. Welcome to Film Divider. You might want to follow our Twitter. Please do have a look around the site.

The premise of Pixels seems to be The Last Starfighter by way of Ghostbusters. When New York is under attack by video game alike invaders, a team of champion joystick wranglers are put on call to save the city.

I was wondering if there’s a chance it may end up feeling a little like The Watch, and the image above – from the new issue of EW – won’t do much to dispel this. That’s Michelle Monaghan, Adam Sandler, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage and I expect we’ll be seeing Monaghan framed as a love interest for Sandler because, of course, Hollywood.

If this were Judd Apatow-produced and improv-fuelled somebody would call Peter Dinklage “Rock of Ages” at some point. Guaranteed. If only in a deleted take. If you’re reading this, Chris Columbus, you can have that one on me.
